Chapter 989

At the end of the morning schedule, the high-level officials who attended the meeting were invited for a banquet at noon. In the afternoon, they took a look at several industries located in the urban area. Simon arrived at the UFMS Children's School in the west of the city at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Of course, the name after the official opening is not this, but the Rifni West City School.

The school, which has been expanding until now, provides education for all ages from kindergarten to high school, and mainly enrolls the children of UFMS mercenaries and the children of Rovno gang executives.

Because of the high quality of school running, of course, there are many people who want to send their children to the school. This is not a rejection. The difference is that the education of the children of UFMS mercenaries and the children of Rovno gang executives is completely free, which is a special benefit. Other foreigners have to pay expensive tuition fees.

In the eyes of many people, the most powerful thing about Rivnis West City School is that the total number of students in this school is about 3,700, but the number of teachers has reached an astonishing 2,100. Under the circumstances, the pure teacher-student ratio is only 1.7 to 1, which is terrifying for a school that provides primary education.

In fact, this is mainly due to Simon's strategy of recruiting talents.

Because of the collapse of this country, the Ukrainian region where the education system was once very developed, because of financial constraints, a large number of top teaching personnel cannot even pay their salaries, and have to find another way out. As an elitist at heart, Simon instinctively didn't want to see such a thing, plus the fact that a top physics professor couldn't even pay a $5 pension and had to write a letter begging for a job The incident was stimulated, and the school was required to open up the recruitment of relevant talents.

Therefore, the school has more than 2,100 teachers, all of whom have doctoral degrees or above, and many of them are university professors from Ukraine and even Russia.

The average salary level given by Simon is $500, which is a joke in the United States. In Ukraine, it is already a top-level high salary level, which is more than ten times the average monthly income of Ukrainian residents at this stage. Nian's family settled.

Speaking of which, there are more than 2,100 teachers dealing with 3,700 students, and the surplus is almost inevitable. Therefore, many teachers do not actually teach classes. After all, not all the elites recruited by Simon are suitable for the podium, so the surplus talents, or according to their own The majors open up interest groups for students, or engage in their own research in Rivney's rudimentary research institutions, or simply provide various consulting services to companies in the Westeros system.

There is nothing to do, nothing to do.

Even if these people's salaries totaled over a million dollars a month, it wouldn't matter to Simon.

According to the ancient Chinese saying, it is regarded as a daughter of gold.

In fact, with Simon's relatively generous salary in Ukraine, not many people are deliberately lazy.

Although it was the summer vacation, after Simon entered the school, there were still many people on campus.

Simon has long understood that the key to a person's life is not college education, but primary education. Therefore, when he was determining the direction of the Westeros family's charity, he had the idea of ​​​​working for it. Later, he faced the reality and took the initiative to adjust it. .

However, for this school here, even without the relevant expectations of Sowell College in Los Angeles, the education style that Simon personally determined is still a rigorous elite education, not the happy education that is generally fooled at the bottom in Europe and the United States. If you want to be happy, you want to Childhood, sorry, go out and turn left, Rivnis West City School does not provide happy childhood.

Although admission is free as long as eligible students are admitted, students in this school will be in a competitive state from elementary school onwards.

Because of the parents, no one will be expelled unless they do something particularly bad. However, all students will be divided according to their academic performance. Students with good grades will enter the top class, and poor students will get together with poor students. Of course, because there are enough teachers, Xicheng School will also teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

For example, between liberal arts and sciences, or those who are really not interested in all cultural subjects but are good at sports, can be cultivated.

Moreover, Simon has also customized additional scholarship regulations, and even if he graduates from high school in the future, if he can be admitted to a designated university, he will continue to receive funding from the Westeros system, and even study abroad directly under the arrangement of the Westeros system.

As for parents, if they cannot accept this Spartan education, they can only take their children away.

However, until now, only more and more people want to send their children to this school, and no one has withdrawn their children because the school's education system is too strict. To attach importance to education and hope that your child will become a dragon is definitely not just the educational concept of Chinese parents. It can be said that it is almost the instinct of all parents in the world.

Simon walked around this campus.

There are many students in the whole campus, even in the kindergarten area. Obviously, some parents in the kindergarten have no time to watch their children take the initiative to send them over. , teachers everywhere have students or accept summer tutoring, or various interest group activities, and so on.

In short, it is full of a kind of determination that this dilapidated country does not possess at all.

Probably a special arrangement by someone with a heart, Simon also met the old man named Sergei Yershakov, the physics professor of Kyiv State University who wrote to him at the beginning, who is 68 years old this year, still in good spirits, and is working for a group of people. The students were tutoring high school physics, and Simon also listened to a section. Compared with the physics courses in his high school career in memory, it can only be said that the difference is obvious.

After chatting a few words at last, the old man

Meng expressed his gratitude. His current job has almost supported a large family.

Then there are some inevitable sighs of emotion.

Simon stayed at the school for two hours and didn't leave until just over six o'clock.

Then there was another banquet in the evening.

More special, entertaining some high-level military officials in Ukraine.

With the establishment of the Ukrainian constitution, Ukraine's political and military system has begun a new round of changes. On the military side, the Kyiv authorities have begun to prepare a new round of military reforms.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is another disarmament.

Even if the army of more than 700,000 people in Ukraine had been reduced to more than 200,000 when the Soviet Union just disintegrated, the current Ukraine still cannot support it.

Simon also got some information in advance.

In this reform, the entire Ukrainian army will be planned and integrated into three major military regions, mainly the Northern Combat Command with Kyiv as the core, the Southern Combat Command with Odessa as the core, and the Western Combat Command with Rivni as the core department.

That's right.

Among the three major military regions, the Kyiv authorities intend to set up the base of the Western Combat Command, which integrates the nine western states, in Rivny, the capital of the Rivne region.

This is clearly not arbitrary.

Simon didn't try to change anything about it.

If it is the Soviet era, or other politically stable countries, if the authorities do this, Simon may still feel resentful.

The current Ukraine has an army of more than 200,000 people. Frankly speaking, it is a group of turkeys who may not be as good as the Iraqi army in the Gulf War.

As for why.

Being a soldier requires food, and now in Ukraine, it is said that in 1995, the excessive budget squeezed out by the Kyiv authorities was only a pitiful 910 million US dollars, less than 1 billion US dollars in military spending, plus Ukraine's well-known layer at this stage. In the state of skinning, it fell to about 240,000 troops in mid-1996, which may not even be $500 million.

It can be a problem for soldiers to get enough to eat, let alone fight a war.

The current Ukrainian army, to put it bluntly, is struggling to make a living from top to bottom. After all, the Soviet Union has just disintegrated a few years ago. Western society and Eastern European countries are in the honeymoon period. At least on the Ukraine side, there is no war. Signs, naturally no one will think or care about their own army.

Simon entertained the high-ranking Ukrainian army who has been appointed as the commander of the Western Combat Command by default, named Vasily Borisov, 56 years old this year, with the rank of lieutenant general.

Speaking of which, it was the general who mobilized a regiment of engineers to help the military theme park with infrastructure construction. The Borisov family is also one of the secret shareholders of the military theme park. In addition, the Ukrainian high-level officials identified some time ago. Children's study aid program, Vasily Borisov's youngest son Alexander Borisov is among them.

In addition, the Borisov family is also involved in the arms trade with Angola, and Borisov's eldest son, Alexeik Borisov, also works in a related arms trading company.

To put it bluntly, this is a 'oneself'.

Of course, on the surface, Vasily Borisov belongs to the Kuchma family in the Kyiv authorities, but he is not the core. He was able to successfully win the position of the commander of the Western Combat Command among several competitors, and the Wei The reason why the Stroh system works quietly.

Compared with the Northern Combat Command, which defends Kyiv, and the Southern Combat Command, which has a navy, the Western Combat Command is the smallest in size. Even without considering the further downsizing, it is only less than 60,000 people at this stage.

Simon even secretly had an idea that the 5,000-strong UFMS private army looked at 60,000 soldiers of the Western Combat Command, wondering what the outcome would be?

Of course, the chances of this happening are almost nil.

Even if the worst-case scenario does happen, Simon will only watch the fun from a distance. Of course, he will regret the loss of the UFMS private army, but it will not hurt his bones.

Vasily Borisov is more like a bureaucrat than a soldier. In fact, it is not hard to imagine just looking at the other party's big belly. In front of Simon, there is no one who is about to become the commander of the Great Military Region. Obviously humble, the leader is like this, not to mention the other senior officials of the Ukrainian army who participated in the banquet.

Therefore, a dinner party can be described as a pleasure for the guests and hosts.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the dinner was over, Simon didn't intend to stay in the city, he left by car and rushed to the complete manor in the north of Rivney again.

When the car entered the main road, the girl A sitting next to Simon said a serious matter: "An invitation from Moscow has been sent again, I hope you can attend a banquet tomorrow night, mainly for an investment visit from the United States. team."

Simon leaned on the leather seat and shook his head when he heard the words: "No."

Following Simon's side for a long time, girl A knows more than others. After thinking about it, she said, "Boss, I think that there are some things that you need to show your presence afterwards."

Simon glanced at Girl A's eyes, smiled, and said, "A, then tell me, why did Yeltsin invite me again?"

Girl A said: "It should be to show some sincerity, or some communication. In short, it must be related to the boss's layout in Russia."

Simon shook his head and smiled: "This time you are wrong."

"Um?"

Simon did not explain.

Regarding someone's arrangement, except for the two Jeannies, Simon didn't tell anyone else, even the A girl, only knew that Simon had some special arrangements on the Russian side.

Unexpectedly, Simon's layout will be the next president of Russia.

This matter is too big, Simon does not trust Girl A, but does not want to leave such insignificant flaws.

Let's talk about Yeltsin's invitation.

If last time, Yeltsin really wanted to talk to Simon, this time, it is very likely to be a test to test some of Simon's original promises.

Simon and Yeltsin's second daughter Tatyana said that someone is not his puppet, nor can he become his puppet. People with a little brain probably won't believe it easily. This time, Yeltsin just wanted to Let's see if Simon will show a gesture of interference in Russia.

If he goes, it may give Yeltsin a hint that Simon is very interested in Russia, and even attaches great importance to a certain arrangement.

Simon is so important, Yeltsin will inevitably think more.

Or, even if Simon really guessed wrong, Yeltsin really wanted to have a serious talk with Simon, and Simon refused again, it would still have some kind of result he hoped for.

Seeing that her boss didn't explain and didn't want to ask any more questions, girl A turned to talk about other things that Simon needs to know.

Back to the hot spring manor, the time is still around 11 o'clock in the evening.

I didn't take a bath immediately today, I came to the living room next to the hall, where several girls were watching TV.

In fact, Simon didn't want to be too lively. He hugged the little Eve Bansikova in his arms, and left the girl's sister Galina, and let the other girls leave.

Natalia Bansikova obviously avoided deliberately, and Eve went to arrange the girls to rest, but Marta Becknatz was still as eager as last night.

After taking the coffee handed over by the other party, Simon motioned for the girl to sit next to him, holding the little girl who looked like a doll in his arms. He even called Doll, and asked Marta casually with a smile, "How is today?"

The words were casual, but Marta didn't dare to be casual at all. She didn't know what the big boss was referring to, but she said cautiously: "Not bad."
